nervy start

Not a great start.

Have they swapped the benches?

Commentators said that Poch wanted to swap benches because visitors had more space previously 

Sloppy so far. 

Chucks could have been sent off 

there he goes the bald fraud

obligatory red card incoming

An early booking too. This has been a really poor start. Nobody can get control of the ball.

Brainless challenge from Chuk, lucky with the yellow tbf

Boneheaded to leave his leg flailing that high. Taylor doesn't need any excuse to send him off.

Sloppy start, our build up play under Poch hasn't looked great

as you'd expect we look like a bunch of strangers 

This looks like we have started from right where we left off last season. Hopefully, we keep improving.

We are.

I have to say I do appreciate a coach who wears a suit and tie on the touch line.

 

Need to settle down and get comfortable. Many of these players are playing their first competitive game together so no need to rush this. 

Well at least we've changed the dugout 👍

I hate track suited managers and as for baseball caps - don't get me started

Conor Gallagher's lack of pace is so worrying.

Pace and doesn’t release the ball quick enough - struggles to see the pass. 

Early days. They need to settle. 

Gallagher cannot play deep, this is a disaster waiting to happen.

It was looking better then they almost got us on the counter.

Too close

Very predictable this. Young midfield getting destroyed.

Horrible management from Pochettino. Everybody saw how bad Gallagher was in midfield last season, and now he is the deepest of the lot.

Hes really painfully average
